So the mythtv master backend is also a NAS for the house and does has 
NFS and CIFS/Samba servers running. This is so any device in the house 
can see those videos on the network. The Shield TV (Android) had 
mythtv-frontend, Leanfront, and Kodi. I know Kodi can see those Videos 
on the backend with just the network and not anything to do with 
Mythtv.  I just put the Video and Music Storage groups in to point to 
already existing directories that were networked around the house for 
Kodi. Using Music and Videos on mythtv is relatively new for me so it 
was added recently. I'm not a fan of the way Kodi does playlist so I was 
looking into Mythtv's music option. I'm always playing with something.

The remote/slave backend has nothing mounted as far as networking is 
concerned. So it can't see the Videos on the Master backend, as far as I 
know.
